What do Muslims think about Jesus? Muslims respect and revere Jesus, upon him be peace (UHBP), and await his Second Coming. They consider him one of the greatest of God‘s messengers to mankind. A Muslim never refers to him simply as ‗Jesus‘, but always adds the phrase ‗upon him be peace‘. The Qur‘an confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Qur‘an is entitled ‗Mary‘), and Mary is considered the purest woman in all creation. Jesus UHBP was born miraculously through the same power which had brought Adam (UHBP) into being without father: ‗Truly, the likeness of Jesus with God is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, ―Be!‖ and he was.‘ (3:59) Neither Muhammad PBUH nor Jesus UHBP came to change the basic doctrine of belief in one God, brought by earlier prophets, but to confirm and renew it. In the Qur‘an Jesus UHBP is reported as saying that he came ‗To attest the law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey Me.‘ (3:50) The Prophet Muhammad PBUH said: ‗Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad PBUH is His messenger, that Jesus is the servant and messenger of God, His word breathed into Mary and a spirit emanating from Him, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven‘ (hadith from Bukhar
